Jen Psaki insists she 'never saw' diminished Biden while working as press secretary
Fox News ^ | 5/02/25 | Kristine Parks

Posted on 05/03/2025 2:17:15 AM PDT by Libloather

MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki insisted in a new interview that she never saw signs that former President Joe Biden had declined while she worked for him.

"I never saw that person —not a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day, that was on that debate stage," Psaki said on the "Mixed Signals" podcast about Biden's performance during the June 2024 presidential debate which raised alarms about his fitness to serve another term. He dropped out the following month and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democratic nominee.

"I'm not a doctor. Aging happens quite quickly," Psaki added on the Semafor podcast that was published Friday.

The former Biden aide, who left the White House in May 2022, said she hadn't seen him in person in the two-and-a-half years afterward leading up to the November election.

But she warned against people using the term "cover-up" to describe how the White House responded to questions about the president's age during that time.

"'Cover-up' is a very loaded term," Psaki said, adding that people typically use that expression when talking about a crime.

"People use that term as related to Watergate. Or the covering up of not sharing public information about a war," she continued. "I think it's a bit of a dangerous term."

Psaki was also hesitant to criticize the media when asked if the press should've been "more aggressive" in covering the "pretty big story" about the president's health.

People need to just start being crass about it and calling them LIARS to their faces.

The last interview of pocahontas was quite pathetic and the interviewer would have been right to call her out.

To be a Democrat is to be fully aligned with the Prince of Liars. I’m not sure why anybody even pretends to listen to these “people”.

gaslighting for the few, the proud, the ignorant Democrat party core.

She knows the identity of the real acting President(s).

I don’t think she ever saw much of anything while working as “press secretary”.

I doubt she was part of Joe's inner circle. She did leave after ~18 months into the administration. This was before Joe got really bad. That said she had to be aware of the whispers and rumors floating around the WH and DC about his mental acuity..

“So is she lying or just that clueless?”

absolutely, she’s totally lying ... impossible to be around a cauliflower-head like that on a daily basis for four years without it being obvious that biden was mentally decrepit ... several others have even finally admitted biden was obviously serious decline when he ran for election, hence the basement campaign ...

Maybe you should have attended one of the annual cabinet meetings, Jen.

Watergate is like a sliver on your pinkie as compared to the crimes and cover-ups performed by the Democrats over the past several years. How ridiculous.

Obviously she’s lying and the media agree with her - b/c they were a major playing in covering up Old Joe’s obvious dementia.

It’s come out recently that Old Joe’s handlers could barely prepare him for the debate with Trump - he wouldn’t (or couldn’t) listen, couldn’t remember anything they said or advice they gave him, he wanted to take frequent naps and end the prep sessions way early.

I knew the second I saw Old Joe come onto the stage looking like a Zombie with dead eyes and a flat-footed walk that it was all over for him.

Shame on those who covered this all up.

She’s either lying or just plain stupid. Now I actually do not think she’s stupid, so she’s lying.

I’ve been saying that the Dems owe Nixon a posthumous apology. What they did to Trump in 2016 makes Watergate look like child’s play.

Good post.

Never forget they viciously attacked us for noticing.

The “experts” said we were wrong!

Now they wonder why we point and laugh at all the “experts”.

I don’t think I’m going out on a limb when I say “Liar!”. To have someone so blatantly dishonest posing as a journalist, it could only be MSNBC

“So is she lying or just that clueless?”

She was PAID to lie back then, so why should anyone expect her to be truthful now?
